Page 2 THE BATTALION Friday, September 25, 1953 News Flashes Marciano Retains Heavyweight Title By The Associated Press NEW YORK—Roland LaStarza had the heart but Rocky Marciano had the guns, and so the human block of granite from Brockton, Mass., still holds the heavyweight champion ship of the world today. Few fighters in the annals of the cruel sport have taken a more brutal beating than the ex collegian from the Bronx absorbed last night before Referee Ruby Goldstein stepped in midway of the 11th round at the Polo Grounds and cried enough. ★ ★ ★ WHITTIER, Calif.—The world’s champion milk produc ing cow is dead of old ajje. Pansco Hazel Excellent, who pro duced 275,000 pounds of milk before she was retired last winter, succumbed yesterday at the age of 18. Dairymen say that’s a bovine equal to more than 100 human years. The cow was the mother of 13 calves and leaves 100 purebred Holstein descend ants on the Pellissier dairy farm, near here, where she lived all her life. She won the world title August 5, 1952. it PARIS—The North Atlantic council, governing body of NATO, today announced plans to produce a billion dollars worth of ammunition in Western Europe. The United States will pay part of the bill, but U. S. officials asked the amount of the American share be kept secret. Britain’s Lord Ismay, NATO secretary general, called it the “biggest single pro gram ever presented to the Atlantic alliance.” Object of the plan is to get West European factories to manufacture am munition so the Allies can stop depending on U. S. output. NEW ORLEANS—The season’s sixth hurricane, gaining in both size and intensity, lashed through the Gulf of Mexico early today about 430 miles south of Pensacola, Fla. The day- old storm was moving in a northwesterly direction with winds estimated at 90 miles an hour near its center, and was expec ted to continue along this general course with a slow turn to the north. Vk' WASHINGTON—A Cabinet meeting was called for to day—the first since Martin P. Durkin resigned as secretary of labor in protest against administration handling of Taft- Hartley Act revision. Under Secretary Lloyd Mashburn was invited to represent the Labor department. ★ ★ ★ LAS VEGAS, Nev.—Rita Hayworth and Dick Haymes are on the fourth honeymoon for each of them today following the brief flash-bulb-lit wedding in a gambling resort hotel. “I feel wonderfully happy,” the redhaired bride said after the three- minute ceremony. “I am married to the man I really love. It sounds so wonderful to be called Mrs. Haymes.” ★ ★ ★ WASHINGTON—A White House spokesman said today a “complete and thorough analysis” of segregation of Negro and white patients in veterans’“hospitals is underway to aid in bringing it to an end.
